Lyrics
In the beauty of holiness
We see You Son of righteousness
So we bring all that we possess
To lay at Your feet
In the place where Your glory shines
Jesus lover of all mankind
You have drawn us with love sublime
To make us complete.
So I pause at Your gates once more
As my heart and my spirit soar
And I wish I could love You more
My God and my King.
Is there tribute that I could bring
Was there ever a song to sing
That could ever express, my King
The work that You've done
Could I ever conceive of this
All the depths and the heights and breadth
Of the riches I now possess
Because of Your love.
So I pause at Your gates once more
As my heart and my spirit soar
And I wish I could love You more
My God and my King.
So I pause at Your gates once more
As my heart and my spirit soar
And I wish I could love You more
My God and my King.

As we pause at His gates today, let us bring our lives as a living sacrifice, resting in the beauty of His holiness. May our hearts be filled with a gentle longing to love Him more deeply each day.
